Decision & conditions

Refusal of permission
974586-974579T-_Decision_Notice_Refusal_-RF8_24_v1.pdf
Planning conditions
  1. NO JUSTIFICATION FOR FELLING: There is judged to be no sound arboricultural or overbearing practical reasons to justify the removal of the protected tree[s], the effect of which would be seriously detrimental to the local amenity.
  2. The Council does not consider that it has been adequately demonstrated that the tree is a material cause in structural damage to the property in question. As such the grounds specified by the applicant are not sufficient reason to justify the proposed works to the tree.
  3. If further technical evidence is submitted as part of a future application, it will be taken into consideration for determination at that point.
